nice BW conversion, I would get rid of the sign, seems to take away from the "isolated" feel of this photo.

I like it. But I think the car is the weak spot. The image seems to me to be rather forbidding. And the car fights it.

wow, i'm really liking this one! it has this "terminator / sarah connor driving into a storm" feel. I like the car placement too. well done.

Nice shot I like it.

And nice edit on the sign to whoever edited it.

I looked at your title line and thought to myself that there are no really good B & W landscapes with high contrast.

Then I looked at it...

It's great, and it reminds me of the strength of Moonrise over Hernandez.

Your composition is great, and the exposure it right on. I wouldn't touch a thing - print and hang!

I'd prefer if the car was a little closer, to make a larger focal point.

Thank you all for your comments.

So, does the sign post go? Does the car go or get bigger?

Car stays... sign post goes... imo

beautiful bw

sorry, car stays exactly where and how it is...

Thanks Flo. I've done a copy without the post and honestly, I like both of them. I always was a fence sitter.....

I agree -- without the sign that picture is perfect. I would hang that from my wall if it was printed.

Would you mind posting up the original to see what you started with?

Removing the car would make this landscape shot dull IMO..
Definetly keep the car.
The grain and contrast just works!
